Help - Unwanted Links
| Posted by hlshosting, 03-19-2004, 05:38 PM | | Help!! Am receiving panicked phone calls from a client whose website I created in Dreamweaver and also host on my reseller account. When she views her pages on her machine half of the words on the screen have been underlined and link to an external site that we have never heard of. They have picked on any word that has anything to do with skin care (as she is a beautician this has ruined her site). I have checked everything and even reloaded her site, I cannot see this on my machine nor can two other machines. The file manager looks fine. Any ideas on how they have done this or how I can prevent it?

There's a type of software that you can download to your computer that will select keywords from whatever site you are on and link them to related web sites. If you can't see it from your computer and other computers then this is probably the case. She's probably going to have to download Ad-Aware (free on tucows) to find the softare that does that. It's probably something that was installed by mistake or one of those programs that get bundled when you download something else. If you post her site we can take a look at it just to be sure, but I have a feeling that it's something installed on her computer.

Here is a link to the Ad-Aware program on tucows. http://www.tucows.com/preview/236049.html -This should help her out.

| Posted by hlshosting, 03-19-2004, 06:15 PM | | Many Thanks for your help. I have another site that sells templates (reseller basis) and that is where I bought template from so cannot take credit for that. Forgot to include the credit for that on site. Oops! Will correct that.
